One Ounce Opera

There is a movement to revitalize opera across the globe, but no one is doing it quite like One Ounce Opera (OOO). From premiering a Frankenstein-esque vaudevillian operetta in a Hyde Park living room, to rogue bits of Verdi in a Red River club, One Ounce Opera presents opera as accessible, contemporary, and mainstream through thoughtful programming in non-traditional locations.

The company truly believes the classical voice is a timeless vehicle for powerful storytelling. OOO’s team of professional singing artists incubate, create, and produce opportunities to inject “ounces” of opera and classical references into the social consciousness, utilizing cross-genre collaborations, pop-culture references, a bit of improvisation, and the simple beauty of the human voice.

One Ounce Opera is thrilled to reprise their American premiere of DOOR, directed by its librettist, dramaturg Daniel Solon. DOOR was first produced by Guildhall School of Music and Drama in association with the Royal Opera House in London. Composed by rising star Rhiannon Randle, this powerful short opera takes us on a gripping journey through claustrophobia, relationship breakdown, depression, and escapism.

The cast: Robert LeBas, Julie Silva, Julie Fiore, and Dalton Flake, with pianist Graham Yates.
